With the ——, chirping of the clouds in the sky, a communication eagle hovered over the Iwakuin Village in the Land of Earth.

One of the five great powers, the land of the earth. Most of the country is desolate rock walls, and a large number of rocks exist along the borders of the country, thus blocking communication between the land country and other countries. The land of the earth is also one of the few countries where the monarch and his subjects are united and live in harmony. The daimyo and the Tsuchikage are of equal status and respect each other, unlike other countries where the relationship between the daimyo and the ninja village is complicated.

Surrounded by rocky mountains, Iwakure Village is a ninja village known for its sturdy defense, and it is easy to defend and difficult to attack. However, it is also not conducive to communication with the outside world.

The third generation of the Tsuchikage Onoki is the oldest kage in existence. Due to his age, he has hair, beard, gray eyebrows, and osteoporosis, and he flashes his waist at every turn. A large red nose in the middle of his face, and he is very short.

Although Onoki is not amazing, he is strong. He is good at earth escape and is one of the few ninjas who can fly. And it will be a powerful escape technique, which surpasses the blood inheritance elimination of the three attributes of earth, fire and wind beyond the blood inheritance limit - dust escape.

Onoki frowned, because yesterday he received letters from the four generations of Thunder Shadow and the third generation of Hokage, all of whom asked him for information about Akatsuki. Yuan Fei's wording was euphemistic and gentle, but Ai's irascible tone was vivid.

Ai directly questioned Onoki if he was the mastermind behind Akatsuki and wanted to provoke the Fourth Ninja World War.

Ai suspects that Xiao originated from Yanyin Village. Because Iwain Village often hires Xiao, a mercenary organization, to participate in wars, Iwakuin Village's S-class traitor Deidara is a personal disciple of Onoki. But it may also be a cover-up. If Deidara is a traitor, why does Deidara's Akatsuki organization often serve Rock Hidden Village?

If Onoki is not behind the scenes, he must share the information of the Akatsuki organization to show his innocence.

Onoki is bitter and can't say. It was only because Iwain Village was facing the dilemma of a lack of elites and a lack of green and yellow that it disregarded the face of a great country and hired the Xiao Organization with money to reduce the loss of the ninja power of Iwain Village.

Even because of the lack of qualified heirs, he has to take the lead alone at a lot of age. Otherwise, he would have abdicated a long time ago to make way for Xian, where would he occupy the position of Tsuchikage.

Under normal circumstances, for example, the ninja villages of the other four great powers are not the old three generations of kage in power.

Konoha Village was also the untimely death of the fourth generation Hokage, so there was an exception for the continued rule of the third generation Hokage.

If Onoki knew that Akatsuki was a dangerous organization planning to collect tailed beasts, how could he dare to seek skin from the tiger? Because Yanyin Village also has two pillars, the four-tailed Monkey King is the pillar force of Lao Zi, and the five-tailed Mu Wang is the pillar of the Han.

Although Onoki is tempted to explain that he doesn't know anything about Akatsuki, the question is whether the other kagekai believe it?

So, Onoki, who was deep in thought, was worried about how to reply. If one is not handled well, it will lead to diplomatic disputes and even wars, and it will be besieged. If you don't go back, it's even worse to be mistaken for a thief.

Bang——, the door of Tsuchikage's office was suddenly kicked open, and Onoki's granddaughter, Kuroto, came in with a letter and said, "Old man, another foreign communication eagle has sent you a letter. ”

Black Earth is a vibrant, beautiful girl with short black hair and dark gray eyes. Not only is his personality like a tomboy, but even his chest is as flat as a tomboy.

"Oh, my waist," Onogi, who was startled by the black soil, exclaimed, and then his heart was haggard, "who will be held accountable this time?" Mizukage or Kazekage? ”

"It's the Kazekage," Kuroto teased, "since I'm not in good health, I'll quickly abdicate and let me be the Tokage." ”

She is a young master of Iwakuin Village, and she is the only one who dares to joke about Tsuchikage often.

Of course, in Onoki's opinion, the quality and temperament of the black soil are good, but he is too young to take on heavy responsibilities.

Onoki didn't pay attention to the black soil, just opened Kazekage's letter and read it, and after reading it, he was furious: "How can this be reasonable, just because a book is written about something that hasn't happened yet, it's too deceitful to make such a request." ”

Then Xiao Suo said: "Forget it, I agreed, and it can be regarded as expressing my attitude and position to other films." ”

Heitu asked curiously, "Is the Wind Shadow also asking for information?" I didn't see you angry when I read Thunder Shadow's letter yesterday. ”

Onoki didn't hide it as a secret, and he couldn't hide it for long anyway: "The four generations of Kazekage didn't ask for information, but the request was even more excessive, asking me to authorize and allow Sand Hidden Village to want and kill Deidara." ”

Hei Tu jumped to his feet and said, "Dead old man, how can you agree to such a request?" So weak, too ugly. ”

Although there are renegades in different ninja villages, they are generally only wanted to kill the renegade in their own village. Rebels from other ninja villages are not allowed to act at will unless they are authorized to do so if they are exiled to their home country and do not cause trouble.

Failure to do so will lead to diplomatic disputes. Because this is someone else's "family matter", you can't interfere in the politics of other countries.

Whether it's Onoki or Kuroto, it's not because of the friendship that once protected Deidara. It's because if Sand Hidden Village is authorized to want and kill Rock Hidden Village's S-level traitor Deidara, and Sand Hidden Village succeeds, it is equivalent to giving up the secret of Rock Hidden Village to Sand Hidden Village. 【1】

After Ohnomu was angry, he became a bamboo in his chest: "Black soil, calm down, you are still too immature." ”

"Don't forget, because Akatsuki's ambitions and plans were exposed, even Iwakuin Village, which we had hired Akatsuki to organize, was also suspected by other ninja villages. It just so happens that through this incident, the attitude and position are stated. ”

"We in Yanyin Village have no intention of shielding Xiao, and we have nothing to do with Xiao. It can be regarded as an explanation to other aggressive shadows. Otherwise, if we are hostile to the four powerful ninja villages, our life will be even more difficult. ”

"And, with Deidara's strength, is it so easy to kill? Not to mention whether Deidara has the strength to kill Shadow in the future, it's just that now, with the mobility that Deidara can fly, can Sand Hidden Village be killed? ”

"If Deidara was good at killing, I would have killed it myself a long time ago, where would it be the turn of outsiders."

"Besides, Deidara's whereabouts are hard to find, and there's an organization behind him that we don't know the depths of."

"If the Sand Hidden Village touches Xiao's unfathomable and dangerous organization, it can be regarded as helping to throw stones and ask for directions, and you can get information related to Xiao. Maybe he was counterattacked by Xiao, causing tragic losses like in the book. ”

"If the Sand Hidden Village doesn't care about Deidara and Xiao, then it has nothing to do with me. I've authorized it, but I can't kill Deidara because the strength of the Sand Hidden Village is not good, and we can't blame it on the head of the Rock Hidden Village. ”

After hearing Onogi's explanation, Heitu's face softened, and he smiled: "Old man, I didn't expect you to have such a cunning and treacherous side, I blame you." ”

Onoki stroked the white beard on his chin with his right hand, and was triumphant: "This is called an old traitor, phew, he has rich life experience, and he is smart and wise." Instead, I'd like to thank Kazekage for giving us a step down. ”

Onoki seems to be in the mood to laugh, but in fact he is worried, far from being as relaxed as he appears on the surface.

The black soil only saw the difficulties of other shadows on the surface, especially the wind shadows, but did not see the turbulent undercurrents below.

The situation of the five major ninja countries and the five ninja villages is already complicated. The small country and the small ninja village are not far behind, and disputes often break out, so that Akatsuki can earn a gap and get a chance to rise from the war.

If it weren't for "The Legend of the Resolute Ninja", even Iwain Village would have been concealed and treated Xiao as an ordinary mercenary organization.

With one more ambitious organization, the future situation is bound to be treacherous.

Although the five great powers are afraid of Xiao, can they really put aside their past prejudices and work together to deal with Xiao?

Will Iwain Village be able to survive the future crisis smoothly, like the will of the stone that is tenacious and unmoving?

Onoki was not sure in his heart and sighed deeply. However, no matter what, he can't fall at this time, at least until the new generation grows up.

[1] Because the corpse of a ninja reveals many secrets such as the secrets of the ninjutsu unique to the ninja village to which they belong, the nature of chakra, and the ingredients of secret medicines that have been used on their bodies. Therefore, this ninja village will generally send ninjas such as the dark department or pursuit troops to hunt down the renegade, rather than easily letting other ninja villages do it. This is the essence and main cause of diplomatic disputes.

Especially the more powerful the ninja, the more secrets the body contains. Weak ordinary rebels don't have this treatment. Of course, the weak ninja neither dared to defect nor could not escape the pursuit.
